Review: Manga Guide to Statistics
February 28th, 2010
The Manga Guide to Statistics is a cartoon book in the same style as the publisher’s Manga Guide to Calculus, which I reviewed a while back. It’s been close to thirty years since I studied statistics (in High School) and reading this book brought back memories.
For the same reasons that I liked Manga’s Calculus book, I enjoyed this one. It tells a story. It has pictures, so it engages the visual sense as well as the “word processing” sense. It takes a subject that can be taught in a very dry way and brings it to life, showing how statistics has meaning in real life problems; the importance justifies the mechanical machinery that is central to the study.
